Island Boy 0 Posted December 17, 2016 DVR that can controle the camera's zoom? Hi, I don't know much about CCTV stuff but as you know I am interested in the "Samsung 43x Zoom" (analog) for their long range ability. People steal coconuts from my farm, so I want to set up cameras on a hill (on the roof of a friend's house) that over looks the road that runs along side my land. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF https://www.aseko.fi/_globalimg/ngj_liite/2454/Samsung_SCZ3430_2430_Esite.pdf youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUZ3TIewf5A eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-A1-Series-SCZ-3430P-43x-Zoom-Day-Night-High-Resolution-WDR-Camera-CCTV-/262198114060?hash=item3d0c39b70c:g:8QMAAOSw~otWdB7y or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-A1-Series-SCZ-3430P-43x-Zoom-Day-Night-High-Resolution-WDR-Camera-CCTV-/222345507540?hash=item33c4d332d4:g:2zIAAOSwmLlX~2jX --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would know any reason why the DVR below can't work with or control the zoom of the above camera?

I want to add wireless video transmission later on. (a UPS and PC monitor are needed too I guess) What other things do you think I would need to start. Thanks.

mattaggie 0 Posted December 18, 2016 Can you give me details on exactly what you are trying to capture? Are thefts occuring during day or night? How far is it from house to area? My concern with that camera is that while it does zoom a great distance, its such a low quality imagine you might not get much out of it. You already know people are stealing. What if camera just shows people ,who you cant identify, stealing? Will anyone be monitoring the camera? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Island Boy 0 Posted December 18, 2016 The people that coordinate the stealing of my family's coconut live on the other side the road that run along the coconut field. They hire random people from outside the area (that lives who knows where) to steal for them, in broad daylight. (so seeing someones face is of little help). MY house is a 3-4 minute walk from the..."stealing zone" but I can't spend the whole day (or my whole dam life) checking on them, going in the field every hour, every day. Less trouble to watch a split screen monitor, watching if and when some is carrying coconuts across the road. We run a "Botanical garden tour" in my yard so it takes up more of our time than the coconut field. Can you give me details on exactly what you are trying to capture? 2 things. 1: I want to know when coconuts are being stolen BEFORE I leave the yard, (so I get a couple of the guys to come with me) The police are 15 minuets away, IF they have a working vehicle that day. 2: The people that coordinate the stealing of my family's coconut live on the other side the road that run along the coconut field. So, if I can show the police, coconuts being carried from my field to their yard....it shows they are involved with the stealing. It's no longer my word vs. their word. How far is it from house to area? My friend's house (on the hill) to the "stealing zone" is ABOUT 0.8 KM, I guess. .............the "code" was to help keep the post looking neat. I am not great at typing or spelling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquamon 0 Posted December 20, 2016 It's part of the "Island Culture"; just accept it, maybe planting some other "Herb", instead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just want to know if DVRs above that can control the camera's zoom. help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
